The Spitzer 2007 Conference will focus on the interstellar medium (ISM) and its interplay with star formation in the Milky Way and nearby galaxies. The exceptional view of the mid/far infrared Milky way captured by Spitzer and the extraordinary data gathered from nearby galactic systems marks a perfect time for a conference that synthesizes the most recent developments in these coupled fields.
